Tuesday night Mrs. Beatrice Rogers
breathed her last at Palatka, after being
confined to her bed only a short time. She
was u years Of age and the widow of the
late Joseph Rogers formerly well known
citizen OF jacksonville. The deceased was
a native Of st. Augustine, but went toJack-
sonville thirty-fiye years ago and has
since resided there The circum-
stances attending the lady's death
-
Inembered that on the evening Of MAY p
her son Joseph, in whom her fondest hopes
seemed 10 centre, and without whose pres
ence life amounted to a burden. was sud
denly and without warning stabbed in the
back in a saloon in this city, by a companion
named Bud Garnie, a friend who was on a
drinking spree. After receiving the fatal
stab the young man ran across the street TO
drug store, but just as he reached the
pavement he fell PROSTATE and lifeless
This sudden termination of the young mans
life seemed to break the aged mothers
heart, and il is said that since that time she
has barely existed, apparently without hope
or energy, her movements being more
mechanical than human, and her face was
changed almost to marble, across which no
one had ever been able to trace a smile.
The gang Of desperadoes infesting Max
well, about whom several mentions have
ting new and fresh outrages. Some days
ago four of them attacked man in daylight
while walking the railroad track between
Maxwell and Baldwin, and not only robbed
him of all his valuables, but beat him
severely and left him for dead. The gang
is composed OF five persons, four negroes
and one white, and they have been CON
stantly committing outrages, which have as
yet gone UNPUBLISHED. Repeated efforts
have been made by the citizens residing in
that community to stop their depre-
dations but they have 50 far failed
Their former Outrages included the rob
bling and serious beating of several men
and attacks on others. The posse gotten up
10 capture them made a search, but failed to
find them. Wednesday morning two of the
five went to the house of Mrs Butler, who
lives within half mile of Maxwell, and. de-
manded breakfast. This was at first re
fused, ut fearing other and worse trouble
from them, if she still refused, and being
threatened with double barreled shotguns,
the breakfast was given them. After eating
breakfast they went through her cane
patch, and each cut as much cane as he
could lift, and left for the swamp. Mrs
Buffers two grown sons and Mr.. Wildly
started in pursuit of them with double
barreled shotguns, but the negroes had got to
the island upon which they live in the swamp
near by, after which pursuit was useless.
They robbed a respectable colored man
named Titus Phillips of $50 last Saturday
morning. These desperadoes have a camp
in the immense swamp which lies between
Maxwell and Baldwin, and their tracks are
50 well covered that arrest and detention is
almost impossible These scoundrels and
thieves are not content with highway rob
berry and would-be murder, but regularly and
Systematically plumber the cars of the Flor
ida Railway and Navigation Company
Their habitation is on small island in the
centre of the swamp, and being encouraged
by their past ventures and success, have
about commenced a reign OF terror, and
persons who are required to pass from one
point to another, or even those who have to
go out of hearing distance of others are
liable at any moment TO be attacked. Not
content with the depredations and outrages
perpetrated day or two ago, they removed
two rails from the track, it is supposed for
the purpose of wrecking and train robbing,
and it is hard TO tell what villainy they will
be up TO next.
